Just to let you all know I have been growing my own friends in the
UK for some time now and was thinking it was time to give some of
my experience back and perhaps make a little bit of money back to
pay for collecting around the world.

Don't be lonely any more - get a pet, get several. Don't have room
for a cat or dog? Tired of sea-monkeys?

Grow your own cockroaches! Watch the cute little tykes romping
about in their cage, get that feeling of warmth and empathy as they
come up to eat (from) your hand. Learn to tell the individuals by
the way they flutter their little wings, in time you can call them
by name (1). Send $50 and a stamped self-addressed envelope to get
your first
supply of special high protein cockroach food dusted with live
eggs. Think of the money you will save as you no longer buy roach
sprays and bombs. You can be surrogate mother (or father) to millions!
All you need is love. Be quick as this offer won't be open for
long. Just for a bit of
fun the first 100 customers also get a litter of Rattus rattus! But
wait there's more, one in ten will be carriers of Yersina pestis!
You won't offers like this every day.

Thanks for your time and happy growing.

LOL. OK David, do tell. What is it that has got up your left
nostril so much that you've making this wonderful offer.

the edjiot offering to help you grow tobacco

Ah. That particular idiot.

How's your garden going?

I have the pump and the wide spayers out watering all the gardens. The
pasture is browning off, clover not coming on much, I am fairly de-stocked
so that isn't a big worry yet.

Did you get that snow dump the other night?

No, you are higher and souther than I am. Up the Barringtons did get a
dusting but all the precipitation here has been very light to nothing at all
for months.

We did and it was most spectacular - full cover as far as the eye
could see.

That is most unlikely to ever happen here even in mid-winter.

Turns out when we read the guage we got 50mm which was
beginning to be needed. Did a fiar bit of damage to trees 9radiatas,
wattles and eucs) as we've had a lot of dropped boughs - didn't do a
thing to upset the apple blossoms, or cause the damsons to drop but a
few small rose sprigs were broken.

And now for the good news ... we had artichokes (with aioli) last night and
there are more on the way. If I lean towards the keyboard you will get a
whiff and that's from last year's crop. This year's garlic will be ready in
a couple of weeks.
